“I was genuinely expecting 'You're just a shit actor' instead of 'We want you to do it.' I realized immediately how much hard work it was going to be, and how much of a minefield it was going to be in terms of all the shit that comes with it. Stuff that I would like to not have any part of. I mean visibility and being recognized walking down the street. I'm holding out a naive and ignorant hope that it won't happen. I couldn't gag the 5 year old self inside of me. I said, 'What should we do?' And he was like, 'DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Are you kiddin' me? It's Spider-Man!' My inner 5 year old is a New Yorker with a smoker's cough and a horrible mouth.”
